The Inspirations That Changed My Story

The Inspirations That Changed My Story

by | May 5, 2026 |

Writing a book has never been an easy task. You’re constantly evolving, editing, and then ideas come to mind that have you starting from the beginning. In 2020, I spent most of the pandemic writing a story I started in 2019 or prior. Honestly, I can’t remember. I’d have to look up the very first draft I wrote on my external drive. Since that first draft, I have been working on editing it. Then one day I decided to change it. This time, from a third-person to a first-person point of view. As...

I’m so excited to announce that my Etsy shop, Inked in Stardust, is officially open! ✨ Over the past few months, I’ve been busy creating designs and rebuilding the website.

New Year New Updates

New Year New Updates

by | Feb 1, 2025 |

It's been quite a while since I last updated the website. I haven't posted any new blogs since the release of my Backstreet Boys book in 2023. When I made this website, it was to promote the book and for any future books I may release. Right now I’m still editing my novel that I’ve worked on for a few years now. I normally don’t like to blog about myself so I haven’t used the website in a while. Things have changed for me this past year, so I’ve been busy. I took a step back from the...

Backstreet Boys 30th Anniversary Celebration Available Now

by | Apr 15, 2023 | ,

It's officially released! Our book Backstreet Boys 30th Anniversary Celebration was released April 11, 2023. It's exciting to have my first published book finally in stores and available online. This is a long time coming. Having started working on this in June last year, writing, research, choosing the photos, and editing you learn a lot about writing a book. It's a process that takes months from writing to printing. It's a great experience and one I'll cherish and be grateful for. Over the...

There's just forty-four days until the release of Karah-Leigh Hancock's and I's book, Backstreet Boys: 30th Anniversary Celebration on April 11th! We've learned that in some countries such as Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, even in the Philippines the book was released earlier and is available for purchase in stores. This is likely due to the fact that the Backstreet Boys have toured these countries in the last few weeks or are currently touring there. It was amazing to see photos of these...

Last Friday, January 13, 2023, my copy of Backstreet Boys: 30th Anniversary Celebration arrived! I still can't believe I'm an author and I have my very own book! It's an incredible feeling to see something you've worked on for most of 2022 come to life. The book is amazing. I love how it turned out. The few things I love about it is the cover. Backstreet Boys written in shiny lettering. It's so pretty! Another thing I like is when you open and close the book the insert says BSB 30. This is the...

Focus on Writing and Goals For 2023

by | Jan 10, 2023 | ,

In 2020 I began writing a fiction novel or at least continue writing it. I actually began working on the year before, but hadn't done much with it. Then came the Covid-19 pandemic. Everything changed, everything stopped, putting the world on pause. In my case, as I've mentioned previously on my blog, I help moderate both Nick Carter's and Backstreet Boys Fan Clubs. It's something I've been doing for many years now. I've been involved with the Backstreet Boys fan base for just about twenty...
